The document provides information about the nervous system and neurons. It includes diagrams labeling the main parts of a neuron. Activities are described like students building neuron models and simulating nerve signal transmission down an axon by slapping hands from one student to the next in a line. The simulation is timed to demonstrate how myelination allows faster signal conduction.

photons and perceive light.
566.
567. • When you expose your eyes to bright light,
the rhodopsin breaks down into retinal and
opsin.
• If you then turn out the lights and try to see
in the dark you can’t because cones need
a lot of light and there is no rhodopsin so
the rods don’t work.
• Over the course of several minutes,
however, the retinal and opsin recombine
back into rhodopsin, and you can see
again.
